Crunching the Numbers…
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 37,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 14 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
In 2013, there were 188 new posts (fewer than usual), growing the total archive of this blog to 3,204 posts and 530 comments.
The busiest day of the year was November 5th with 741 views. The most popular post that day was Theft By Taking.
